Meet Name the Squirrel

Jon hung a bird feeders in our backyard Fall of 2009 in hopes that Natalie could enjoy watching birds all winter. Well, the birds didn't know it was there last winter, but they certainly discovered the food come spring...and summer...and well, now they know! So Natalie has really taken a liking to having a job for her being to help fill the feeder each time. And we've had almost a whole year now of being very excited to watch the birds at the feeder. About mid-summer, we met a squirrel that frequents our backyard. Natalie took quite a liking to the squirrel, and enjoyed feeding him peanuts. This Fall, Jon asked her, What should we name our squirrel?" and Natalie responded, "Name." So, the squirrel's name became "Name." He has become quite the exciting sighting (Natalie always yells, "It's Name!! I see Name the 'quirrel!!" whenever she she's him) so we took his picture and felt him worth of a blog post...

That reminds me of Grandma and Grandpa B's squirrel Molly. Grandma used to put cherrios on the back porch for the squirrel. She swears up and down it was the same squirrel for like 10 years but I think it was a few different ones that visited. Either way, glad to see you all have a new "pet" named Name.
